Yes and the most issues I encounter in assisting other hams is that they
DO NOT read the manuals. They take the approach "aw heck, I know how
that works". Well that is just downright wrong. Look at the
questions asked and issues presented and just how many of those are or
can be answered by inducing the idea of RTFM.
Just because the firmware was updated and it is no longer required to
have a correct power up sequence as stated in the outdated manual, I
don't view this certainly doesn't make it wrong operationally. The
later firmware just provided an option on power up sequence.
While on my soapbox, don't you just love it when someone asked a
question or poses a problem, a solution is given, and they are never
heard from again? No thanks, no sharing the solution with others.
All take and no give. Seemingly the nature of society in general today.
It is really rather pathetic.

The current version of the KAT500 manual is Rev C6 (3/8/17) and directs
users
to connect the power cable to "the station 11 to 15 VDC power supply".
This
is another reason why we should use the most current manuals and update
them
with firmware changes. Elecraft is one of the few in this business who
allow adding notes to their PDF manuals. Thank-you Elecraft!
BTW, more often than not what you read at e-ham is not correct. It's
often
someone's opinion which is not based on science or fact. I would never
trust anything there without confirming the assertion with several other
sources. Also, when others pile on with "Yes, that's correct." I will
still
seek other sources. 98% of the time, you'll find the correct
information in
this group. Thank-you group!
